All 12- Updated Tie Down Bolts..?? I bought some knurled handwheels from Ebay. Check you get the right bolt size, obviously. I think Gen 5 uses an M6 bolt.…
- VFR to RC45 "ish" replica budget build 8 hours ago, Terry That could mean that jetting that works well at low bike speeds will be leaned out at high speeds (more ram pressure = lower venturi vacuum). So the pressure in the plenum should be equalised with the…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Fixed my cheapo screen extender which had lost one of the locking pins by copying the remaining one and 3D printing another. Rather pleased with that...
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Cured a grating front disc by freeing off the bobbins with a power drill and brake cleaner, went for a stunning ride in the sun, then replaced the chain guard, cleaned out all the crap from the chain guide and replace…
- Some new thought about 5th Gen summertime cooling... I'm sure you're both right. As it simply velcros in place, it can't hurt, can it? What about pipe wrapping the headers, too, to keep the heat in the pipe?
- hadlebar mods OK, so you can get a riser conversion on Ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-VFR-800-fi-Street-Fighter-Bar-Riser-Conversion-1998-2001-MADE-IN-THE-UK/223482426590 They'll let you mount whatever you like, but you will…
- 5th gen exhaust question Another dumb one, sorry. I have a new high level exhaust. At some stage, a previous owner fitted a new stainless steel pipe and end can, and where the stainless pipe meets the mild steel collector just under the swing…
- Sorry, this is probably a really dumb question, but... Thank you! Only one main beam was on when I checked on the drive, but both were on when the other half followed me on it the other day, though she said she had high beam on by accident. Looks like I have a dodgy bulb or…
- Sorry, this is probably a really dumb question, but... Headlights. I know on High Beam both lights are on (and the blue dash light): should they both be on with just Main Beam? My other half's Kawasaki ER6-F only uses one, but I know there was a fad many years ago to…
- just picked up a '99 model - now what? 11 hours ago, Saoirse What did she cost you Wiggo? welcome aboard by the way. Thank you! I got her for a good price - a little over half of what I've seen some asking for on Autotrader, and right on my doorstep, too.…
- just picked up a '99 model - now what? 36 minutes ago, MaxSwell Welcome to the asylum. In order to assure us you are not a figment of our imagination, we'd love to see a pic of your machine. Well in that case, here she is... [image: vfr001.jpg]
- just picked up a '99 model - now what? Another new owner here, too, with a 2000 bike, so that's a great list for me to work through...
